Why I Love Lucy Maud
- DoreenMichele 5y agoI didn't recognize the name in the title. In case others don't either: This is about reading the journals of a successful female Canadian author whose books you have likely heard of.
- the_af 5y agoAnd the TV adaptations are pretty good, too. I loved "Anne with an E", currently on Netflix. The older adaptations are good too.
- Gravityloss 5y agoYes, L.M. Montgomery. Very good article, worth reading, very on topic for Hacker News.
- tmilard 5y agoThe writing of Carol Volkart is itlelf so profound and seducive. As if she had managed with success to walk into lucy Maud pathway. A Spiritual tribute
- mlang23 5y agoI guess the author of this article would leave their spouse on first sight of trouble. Nice to see how loyality changed in the last 100 years.
- bregma 5y agoMontgomery's biography like that of L. M. Alcott, M. W. Shelley, and M. de Cervantes, makes for a more interesting read than any of the characters they created. Worth seeking out.
- JasonFruit 5y agoThis is an interesting article, but it seems a little vampirish. It seems to consider her life only as the mechanism to provide an excellent plot for her diaries, which rubs me the wrong way. I know, she's dead, it doesn't affect her — but it still seems like too literary an appreciation of the real and unpleasant life of another human being.
